Closet Staple: The Band Tee

The band tee has played an important role in my wardrobe since I was a teenager and into rock music. Back in the day I loved the emo/punk look so my outfits always consisted of a black band t-shirt, black jeans, black converse or vans and obviously black eyeliner. Several years later, my style has "matured", but I still have a special place for band tees in my heart wardrobe. I've even spoken about them before in a post not too long ago, how it pisses me off when people wear shirts of bands they haven't even heard of. They have since become an official closet staple for me. One of my favorite ways to style a band tee is to mix it all up with some more (slightly) feminine pieces for a mature look. In this look I took one of my favorite Nirvana tee and paired it with my maroon/burgundy jeans, to add that feminine and more "mature" vibe I opted to complete the look with heeled booties, a slouchy blazer and my new obsession: the green Zara bag. Heels or no heels, this form of outfit is one of my signature "go-to" outfits which I'm super comfortable in.

Side note: I am obsessed with my Zara bag, which has made an appearance on my Instagram feed already. Apart from being pretty heavy, it's perfection.
